Swansea City boss Paulo Sousa fears that Leon Britton could leave the Liberty Stadium at the end of the season on a free transfer.

Britton, 27, was offered a record-breaking deal by the Championship club at the start of the season but the contract remains as yet unsigned.

The midfielder's present deal expires at the end of the season.

"Leon was one of the players that, when I arrived in the summer, we tried to get an agreement with," said Sousa.

"In the end he was offered the best contract in the history of the club and he did not sign it."

Britton has made over 300 appearances for the Swans since arriving on a free transfer from West Ham United six years ago.

"I still want him to sign and, if I didn't want that, I wouldn't have asked the chairman to make this offer," added Sousa.

"He is a player that works hard, he has played more than 300 times for us, he knows our game and he is someone we believe in for the present and the future."
